I just spent hours and hours attempting a good speedrun and I was rejected for using an emulator due to "faster loading times." I want to argue against that. First of all, if anything, it lags the game. Every minigame I've played lagged half to death and it's just irritating. Second, if you actually watched the runs, mods, you would see that it runs at the same time as any other run. If you didn't want emulators, you could've specified it in the rules rather than having me wasting my time. I would just love to use my Wii U, but too bad I can't afford a capture card.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like a game this highly based off motion controls would be unfair to be played on emulator depending on the controller you're using.

@Francesco I actually had a Wii Remote connected to dolphin emulator, therefore I didn't bypass the motion controls. It's impossible to play it emulated without a wii remote anyways. (I actually scream sometime during the stream, idk if in this run, that I hurt myself flicking the wii remote since I hit a table)

@silo I had a second run last night being 1:12:23 which was rejected

my advice is join the mario party discord and talk to the mods there. If they aren't answering you here, maybe they will their.

Okay hi, as the person who put this game on sr.com, i feel obliged to state my reasoning for not allowing the run. 1). Emu has really been frowned upon for many of the later consoles, speciifically PS2 and Wii/GCN because of the main advantage of faster loads. There might be lag in minigames but someone with a better PC could avoid that and kinda take a lead because of all the time saved on loads and lets be honest, there is a lot of load times. 2). The controller could be modified since emulators allow for that. Yes, you may have used WiiMote and I am not saying you haven't but firstly, we can't 100% you did that using your PB video as source material and that just because you didn't use something else, doesn't mean other people will follow in your footsteps.

So I am gonna talk to the other mods about this and get an overall ruling but personally, thats why I think emulator should be banned

edit: Cosmoing put emu to hidden anyways so you can have it on the boards but you are fighting with other emu runners and console vs. console etc.

Thanks for informing me on this. I know you can't prove I used a WiiMote from those videos, but I have previous footage (non-uploaded since failed run) of me using a facecam with WiiMote. Again, in this run, I didn't facecam, so no proof. To be honest though, I wouldn't know how this game would be playable using a modified controller anyways, but I really appreciate you getting back to me about this ^_^

Sorry for the late reply but no worries. As the person who disputed emu, i just thought i should explain my reasoning :)
